In 2018, Alex was just another face in the crowd — a junior developer in a small town, barely making ends meet. He had $1,200 saved, not much in the grand scheme of things, but instead of spending it, he dove headfirst into the world of crypto trading.
At first, it was rough. Losses came fast, and Alex realised this wasn’t about “lucky moonshots” — it was a skill game. So he went deep: studying market structure, learning technical analysis, tracking on-chain data, and, most importantly, mastering risk management.
While others chased hype, Alex built a method — patient entries, disciplined exits, and never risking more than he could afford to lose. By 2020’s DeFi summer, he was positioned in projects before the crowd caught on. The compounding gains were real.
Fast forward to 2024 — that $1,200 had grown into $3.4M. No lottery win, no insider tips, just relentless learning, adaptation, and the courage to act when fear gripped the market.
Alex’s story is a reminder: In crypto, skill outlasts luck. If you treat it like a craft, the market can reward you far beyond what you imagine.
